REMINDERS FROM MRS SULLIVAN
ROAD SAFETY
Just a gentle reminder that when riding your bikes and scooters or walking to and from school please remember to cross at the school crossings. At the moment we have some children trying to cross on the corner of Albert and Barkly Street. It is a very busy intersection and because there are lots of parked cars it is very hard to see the children. It is for your safety that we ask you to cross at the crossings. Mrs Marziano and I will be keeping an eye out when we are on duty before and after school.
HATS AND SUMMER UNIFORM
We have now been back at school for a week so if you do not wear/bring your hat you will be asked to sit under the verandah. It is lovely to see our students in their summer uniform and the addition of the school jumper makes the uniform look very neat and tidy. Thank you for wearing your uniforms so beautifully.
Just a reminder that extreme hairstyles are not allowed at school, hair below shoulder length must be worn up at all times, no jewellery except a cross necklace and sleepers or studs and only clear nail polish. Thank you for your understanding.
SPORTS AND BIKE SHEDS
Well………we can finally say goodbye to our “lovely” shipping container. Our sport and bike sheds are now up and being enjoyed by Miss Richards and the bike and scooter riders.
Yours in partnership
Wendy Sullivan
Principal
